Not long after this incident, Su'er and Lian'er came to her side.
The three of them eat and live together, and whatever she learns, she will teach them both. As good as one person.
It's a pity that Lian'er has a bad temper and doesn't like to study. She always takes a nap and doesn't like to listen.
after.....
The mother passed away.
Thinking of this, she squeezed the hairpin in her hand tightly, her knuckles turning white from the force. There was even more pain in my heart, like a needle prick.
Su'er was combing her hair. When she saw something wrong with her expression, she quickly asked: "What's wrong, Miss? What's wrong with you? I'll go find a doctor for you."
Only then did Wei Jingwei come to her senses, but she couldn't suppress the sourness in her heart.
My mother is gone, my father is estranged, and I married the wrong person.
One step after another, one step at a time.
Mother, if you were still here, would you teach me how to do it?
"I'm fine, please step back. I want to stay by myself for a while." Wei Jingwei waved her hand, then slowly stood up and walked towards the couch.
Su'er looked at her thin back and walked forward slowly, her steps were very slow, but...it was just that the back looked so lonely.
Her young lady is about to turn seventeen now...
The winter days are getting colder, and early in the morning I can hear the wind blowing on the papered wooden windows.
"Miss, you don't look well today. Didn't you have a good rest yesterday? Why don't I ask the kitchen to make you a bowl of bird's nest porridge to soothe your throat? This is the best thing to drink in winter."
Su'er took the numbers and combed her hair again and again, mumbling in her mouth.
In order to prevent her from talking incessantly, Wei Jingwei had no choice but to say: "Okay, just do as our sister Su'er said. Isn't it okay for me to drink."
Lian'er was holding the balm on the side and making fun, "Sister Su'er always has a way to persuade girls."
The room was noisy, but it relieved many of Wei Jingwei's worries.
A very faint smile also appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"Madam, Xia Ning is here to say hello." The maid outside the door came to announce.
"Well, let him wait in the main hall for a while. I'll come right after I've freshened up."
Since Xia Ning started studying in the study, she has come to the courtyard every day to report, as punctually as a tack on time.
Wei Jingwei also persuaded him several times, saying that getting up early to study is no longer enough for him to sleep, so he doesn't need so many gifts every day.
Xia Ning promised, but still did not fall behind every day.
She didn't know what to say.
Su'er held the hairpin and gestured at Wei Jingwei's head, hesitating in her mind which headdress she should wear today.
"Okay, stop picking. You'll be spoiled for choice later. Just clean it up for me," Wei Jingwei said.
"Yes, miss."
The charcoal basin was lit early in the main hall, so the room was warm.
Wei Jingwei packed up and came to the main hall. Seeing Xia Ning still standing in the middle of the room, she smiled and said, "Why are you so polite? Sit down."
"I want to pay my respects to Madam before leaving. Now that I've seen Madam, I'll go to the study." Xia Ning bowed before leaving.
"Don't leave. You're here anyway. Let's have a meal with me. There's a lot of delicious food this morning, including the meat buns you like." Wei Jingwei stopped him and said.
Xia Ning turned around in confusion and muttered incredulously: "How did Madam know that I like to eat meat buns."
Wei Jingwei picked up a glass of milk and took two sips. She put it down, pointed to her lower head and motioned for Xia Ning to sit down. After seeing him sit down, she chuckled and said, "You have been to my yard so many times. Do you like to eat it?" What else can I not know?”
As she said that, she raised her hand to pick up a meat bun and put it into Xia Ning's bowl, smiling and dragging her cheeks, "Eat it quickly."
It's actually not that far from Xia Ning's residence. It takes about half an hour to walk every day. Sometimes the wind is strong in the morning, and the winter wind is like a knife, which makes his face hurt.
But Hongxia Courtyard is warm. As long as she thinks of such a kind person caring about her in this courtyard every day, Xia Ning doesn't feel cold at all, and her whole body is full of energy.
Even if it takes two hours, he is willing to do so.
He picked up the meat buns with his chopsticks and stuffed them into his mouth. His mouth was full and he chewed it like a squirrel.
Wei Jingwei couldn't help but laugh.
She has been a human being for two lifetimes, so she naturally knows that Xia Ning is a poor child.
I was bullied and looked down upon since I was a child, so I cherish this little bit of myself.
She was naturally not a cold-hearted person, so she felt a little more compassion for him.
Both of them had breakfast, and no one spoke, but the atmosphere in the whole room was better than before.
It seemed particularly harmonious.
Brother Cheng hesitated at the door for a long time, took a few steps forward, and then stepped back.
When I finally plucked up the courage to walk in, I saw this scene.
It's been a long time since my mother had such a smile on her face, but she was facing Xia Ning...
Brother Cheng felt a little sad in his heart. Even he didn't realize how jealous he was of Xia Ning at the moment. His hands on both sides clenched into fists.
He wished he could rush up to Xia Ning and tell him that this was not the place he should be.
but....
He felt that if he did this now, his mother would definitely ignore him even more in the future.
Standing at the door, Brother Cheng took a deep breath and walked in with a timid look on his face. When everyone noticed his arrival, the movement of eating in their hands stopped for a moment.
The smile on Wei Jingwei's face faded, and she just watched silently as Brother Cheng stood not far from the door, hesitating.
"Mother... I'm here to say hello to you." Brother Cheng's voice was very low, but everyone still heard it clearly.
"I understand." Wei Jingwei glanced at him and continued to eat with her head down.
After she slowly finished the dish in front of her, Xia Ning stood up, bowed and said, "Madam, I've finished it."
"Well, go study hard." Wei Jingwei gave a few instructions.
"yes."
After Xia Ning replied, she walked towards the door. Brother Cheng felt sour and angry that he could only glare at him fiercely.
After the person walked away, he whispered: "Is mother still angry with me..."
Wei Jingwei then raised his head and looked straight at him, not without disappointment in his heart.
Sure enough, it is still the same as in the previous life, the people of the Mei family never know how to reflect on their mistakes.
Not only will you not admit your mistakes and apologize after you make a mistake, but you will also feel that others are being careless about you.
After a while, she said crisply: "Angry? That's what you're referring to."
"Mother..." Brother Cheng suddenly became a little anxious. In the past, he had done wrong things, and even if his mother was unhappy, she had never spoken to him in such a cold tone.
